Not seeing Jeb within the Bar, Dwan thought he was alone. As everything was clean, he decides to finally begin writing his book on Caldury. Using what he had read over the years, aswell as his own research, he can finally make the comprehensive book regarding the science of Caldiur. He wonders if anyone has even noticed that [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1457037&p=47425628&viewfull=1#post47425628"]he had added new definitions to the Archive Dictionary or that he had donated the spare copies of all the Caldury books he has[/URL].
He was atleast happy no one questioned him about it.

"Right, thanks Lion. We shouldn't be too long." Varn let out a quiet ahem to get Seventhian's attention.[/QUOTE]
A rather tall Draconian in heavy armored didn't face the two enforcers here to take the bounty money. He was rather dressed as a military man than a businessman.
"Mr Seventhian. We're here for the bounty."
He glanced at them but didn't bothered to turn around. "So I've heard, Screecher queens always had a habit of wrecking havoc on our mining operations."
"Oh boy, this guy is a hard ass"-Varn though. He remained calm. Most of his employers were like this.
"You had a problem, we needed money. Everyone does what's best for business."
"I'm glad we helped your mining, now could we have our reward?" Lemmy replied slightly sarcastically.
The Draconian laughed and turned, facing the two enforcers with open arms literally. "My friends, why the hostility? You did me a great favor by killing that Queen. You see, Sanctum was originally a mining outpost until workers due to the great amount of screechers terrorizing the barracks, citizens, and infesting the caves shut it down. What you did was very appreciated."
"Now, 20 Million was it? Of course."

"Sorry for the hostility, I've just had issues with some cunts not paying me for my work." Lemmy replied, still wary from past experience but glad this was going well.
Yanim took a step back from the drafting table. Her robotic companion was beginning to take shape, on paper at least, but lacked important details which would be needed to complete the blueprint. She felt almost manically productive, and wanted to see at least some portion of the final product to be completed before day's end. But first, she needed a working model of the droid operating system that she could tinker with, which would require a trip to the archives instead of a simple download, due to the complex requirements of creating a bootable logic card- doubly so for one which can interpret both human and kanad code.
She grabbed a blank card and rushed to the lowest deck near the front of the ship, and swooped into the archive room with evident excitement. To her surprise, she encountered a new crew member here. It was yet another human, which was mildly disappointing, but she was in a better than average mood.
"Spaska, k'em Yanim," she said with a businesslike nod. "[Hello, I'm Yanim,]" her pocket translator automatically responded. "I am maintenance technician for ship. And you, human?"
"You'll have to excuse us mister Seventhian. Both me and my friend here have been on edge the last couple of days. Merc life does that to ya. And yes 20 mill was the deal."
"I don't want to be extra trouble or anything but, can we take the queen's head with us? Some of the crew are really fond of trophy's."
"Well you could start off by showing me the dead Queen, I'm sure you have it yes?" He stated as he was really confident the Archius has the carcass with them.
[quote]Joseph started to operate on Viper's head. It was already in a state of sleep. He needed to be careful and steady. One slip up and she was finished. He applied some basic gel to keep the pain away. Tho he had no idea how it worked with hard shells but life signs were still stable.[/quote]
[Unless the next train has wifi, I'll be gone an hour or two]
"No problem." Varn loaded up the images and videos of the dead queen on his holoband. Including the picture of the crew after they killed her. "The carcass is down in the lobby. Sorry if it made a mess"
-ripporni-
[Yo Windows, I'm not sure if your character can just appear inside ths ship since it has been awhile since launch. You're better off walking up to the ship with a contract, seeing as we're currently landed on Rigel.]
As Dwan was writing his book, he looks up to see if anyone was coming. No one was, so he returned to writing.

"Er, well sure. Come we'll take the elevator." He gestured the two back in the elevator with his three fingered hand. They admitted deep inside, this was pretty awkward. A short minute later and they arrived on the foundation seeing the receptionist busy doing her work.
"Greetings, sir." Said Lion, standing next to the receptionist. He pointed to the left. "Good enough for you?"
In the middle of the lobby was the cage, now sitting on the floor. The hatch had been opened and the screecher queen in all her glory was visible. The horrific face was staring towards the elevator with empty eyes as green-ish foam was slowly pouring out of the gigantic maw.
Several holes in varying sizes riddled the face. Next to one of the large mandibles stood Iska, despite being rather tall she looked a bit tiny in comparison.
Iska frowned angrily at Seventhian and he back at her. Iska and him had a bit of a rough history.
Helix had once tried to start a mining operation right next to the Volgrim clan tomb. The volgrims had blown up the mining equipment and later won in solar court as the rightful owners of the land.
"Arenax Seventhian, Founder of Helix Corps." He nodded to the robot, he took his view towards the cage containing the dead Queen. He put the video evidence along with the physical being in front of him that a deal was a deal. "Impressive, very visible, no bombs. Good good. Severe burns, possibly flame weapons. Well I believe the queen is dead. Obviously." Arenax coughed for a bit and watched the crew members in the eyes.
"Like I said I appreciate the effort, now payment is due. 20 Million from the treasury." He said as he activated his holo band. A transfer was in order. Judging from the financial info they could tell Helix Co was loaded. "Contact information? If so what ship?"
"The Archius XI, commander of the ship is Captain Jeremy Spacehawk." Lion projected a small hologram of the ship alongside the official intergalactic designation and so on.
"Oh HarkArk then. I'm aware of their Archius line. Harken Saw is a bit of an ass when I first met him but you'd get along with him after awhile as long as you don't mess with him." Arenax said as he pulled up some vital accounts. Searching for an Archius XI along with Captain Spacehawk. It took a while but in the end it paid off.
"There, 20 Millions. Unless there is anything else?"
[quote]Joseph sweat started to appeared, this was getting complicated as things in the shell started getting worse than he'd like to think.[/quote]
"Just pay it to Ian Fraser Kilmister, Bank of terra..." Lemmy replies with a cheaky smirk.
[This post is late, it was supposed to be in reply to payment info]
[Rip me, kay.]
[We can pick you up on the way back to the ship if you like]
Knowing that the transfer was complete, Iska softened up. She looked at Seventhian; "You want to keep acid corpse or should we get rid of it" Iska said and kicked the queens mandible, causing the head to wobble and acid to drip on the cage floor.
Seventhian scratched his head, finding the disgusting dead corpse a threat to his clean floor. "Keep it. The corpse isn't important. It does give me some ideas what could harm a Queen."
Iska noded and and walked over to Lion. "Ok, so here is how we do. We stop by market and restock. After this I drive you and rest of guys back to ship, you take queens head and unload supplies. Then Iska will bring queen to death furnance and return truck. Sound like plan?" she said. Iska waited for Lion to think about it and respond.
Colin sighed before making his way to the main entrance to the ship. He still couldn't stop worrying about those that had gone to deal with the bug corpse he had seen. To calm himself he got the idea to stay by the ship entrance and watch out until they arrived. It wasn't like he wasn't doing work because he had done quite a lot of archive changes, updates and readings over the time he had been on the ship.
As he stood by the ship's entrance, Colin's mind wandered before it landed on a thought. Did the rest of the crew even know he wasn't an intended recruit and right now he was meant to be on his way back to his company's HQ? He had tried to bring it up but everyone presumed he was an average new guy. Maybe he'd bring it up when the crew was whole again.
[Gonna be busy for a few hours. Sledge is an npc until I get back]
"Oh before I forget, I have to give you this." Varn reached into his pocket and took out a Boome marine business card and gave it to Seventhian "Use it however you like. Doesent matter to me."
"I'll keep that in mind." Seventhian saw the offer and decided to take it as a first impression gift.
[quote]The shell was cracking, Joseph made sure he kept the pressure constant. He took a deep breath, this was a very serious wound in the head along with a missing talon. He also forgot to notice the minor scratches and holes center mass. "Come on, come on." He made sure no disturbances interrupted him.[/quote]
